When a pair earns our Certified Pre-Owned badge, you can trust it’s safe, clean, and C7-approved.
Inspected, Sanitized & Certified
Your safety and comfort come first. Every Certified Pre-Owned pair goes through:
Just Like New
Barely worn and in near-perfect condition with minimal to no visible wear.
Lightly Loved
Gently broken-in with small signs of use, but still performs and looks great.
Well Skated
Noticeable wear from regular use, but fully inspected, safe, and ready to ride.
Pre-owned Models
We believe skating should be fun, affordable, and sustainable. By giving skates a second life, we’re making skating accessible to more people and kinder to the planet. Every purchase supports a circular future where gear lasts longer and joy rolls further.
Certified Pre-Owned FAQs
Are Certified Pre-Owned skates clean?
Yes! Every pair is professionally cleaned and sanitized by the C7Skates crew before being listed. Fresh laces or parts may be swapped in when needed, so you can feel confident about hygiene.
Are they safe to use?
Absolutely. Each pair goes through a multi-point safety inspection. We test the wheels, trucks, and stoppers to make sure performance is up to C7 standards. Only skates that pass our checklist earn the Certified Pre-Owned badge.
Why are these skates discounted?
Pre-owned skates come from situations like:
- Displayed at expos/events
- Used briefly for photoshoots
- Customer returns due to sizing
- Excess inventory
They’re still in great shape, but since they can’t be sold as brand-new, you get up to
50% off.
Do they come with a warranty?
Certified Pre-Owned skates include a 30-day limited warranty covering safety and function (but not cosmetic wear). This gives you peace of mind while keeping the program affordable.
Can I return or exchange them?
Certified Pre-Owned skates are Final Sale. To help you feel confident, we:
- Provide detailed sizing guides
- Share condition notes and clear product photos
- Guarantee each pair has been inspected and approved. However, something things can go wrong. So we offer a 7-day exchange-only window for sizing mistakes — no refunds.
What condition should I expect?
We grade every pair so you know what you’re getting:
- Like New – tried indoors, minimal wear
- Lightly Loved – small cosmetic marks, full performance
- Well-Traveled – visible wear, best price
Why should I buy Certified Pre-Owned instead of new?
- Big savings — same C7 quality, lower cost.
- Sustainable choice — extend the life of gear, reduce waste.
- Same fun — all the joy of skating, certified and ready to roll!
